Great benefits package. The onboarding process is very streamlined. Coworkers are eager to help new employees get up to speed. Managers allow you to explore and learn the first 90 days without micro managing your daily schedule. You are encouraged to walk around and say hello to coworkers and learn the business. Many opportunities to learn about new technology and trends. I was allowed to use a decommissioned server blade for testing at home. I felt that I was a part of my team the first week. If I had an issue gaining access to something my coworkers and immediate manager worked quickly to address it. Senior management took time to introduce me to key professionals across the IT organization. I find the work culture is great and responsive to the business. Their are many online training courses available for free and technology companies come into headquarters to discuss there latest software and hardware products.

Cons

I can't think of any negative issues through my first 90 days. Love the work environment so far.

Outstanding Leadership and company culture founded on the CDW Way. Company is totally committed to coworker engagement and development along with work/life balance. Truly listens to its coworkers and over the years has built a workout center on campus and offers hot lunches, dry cleaning services, coworker discounts, etc

Cons

Since I am relatively new to the Company I have not come across any Cons or negative issues after 3 weeks.

Advice to ManagementAdvice

Keep doing what you are doing by modeling the CDW Way and being committed to Coworker development, engagement, and work/life balance.

-Positive work environment, very friendly people-Excellent training program-Great variety of functions in which you can work and explore your interests

Cons

-The benefits are great but salary growth is a challenge in functions outside of sales.

Advice to ManagementAdvice

Keep up the great work, some differentiation will be necessary with the increased commoditization of the products CDW sells over time. Growth in the services practice will be key, but more competitive advantages will need to be developed to succeed in the long term.

I've only recently started at CDW but even two weeks in I can tell the culture here is like no other. From day one, all of our trainers and guest speakers have been very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Everyone I speak to in the company I ask them how long they have been here and what do they love. Unanimously I am told they love the atmosphere. They encourage participation, continuous training and everyone says there a huge salary potential.

Cons

Like many jobs, it's not going to come easy. They do expect us to put in the time to become knowledgeable about technology and still manage to communicate what we know to customers.

There is unlimited earning potential (all based on how hard you are willing to work and how well you work with others), flexible management, ability to work from home, varied internal and external career paths (including partner companies)

Cons

large corporations have many layers of bureaucracy, some sales / leaders teams have a narrow and selfish view causing conflicts, turnover for new hires is high (many don't give it a chance long enough or put in the work the build the book of business)

CDW is the best company to work for. The training and onboarding programs, as well as wide array of resources, provide employees all the tools to be successful. The pay, promotions, benefits, perks, values, and culture, make CDW the best company to be apart of.
